Milestone Achieved: First Project Tapeout Successfully Submitted!

We’re proud to announce the successful submission of the first tapeout in our project — a significant and exciting milestone in our journey toward cutting-edge innovation!
This achievement is the result of exceptional collaboration, technical excellence, and continuous communication between all project partners.

In this highly integrated tapeout:
InCirT contributed their flagship data converters, integrated with a JESD204B standard-compliant high-speed interface.
Argo Semiconductors delivered critical components including mixers, power management, and RF front-end modules.
Sivers Semiconductors added their wideband front-end components for both the receiver and transmitter chains.
The tapeout was submitted to GlobalFoundries on their 22nm FDX technology — a platform that enables both high performance and efficient integration.

This milestone underscores the strength of our partnership and the deep technical expertise brought together across organizations. We’re excited about what lies ahead and are looking forward to the upcoming measurements and validation of the IPs.

A big thank you to all the teams involved. Onward and upward!
